Sitting down, the young man decided to see if he could convince the blue cloud to congeal into a form within his Dantian. Yan Xiaobao sat on the hard, rocky ground and entered his consciousness.

It was now as tiny as a grain of rice, yet even so, it still sent out pulses of energy, although these pulses were much weaker than before.
